Dear Editor: As the mother of two teenagers and an educator in the Milton and Canton public schools since the late 1970s, I’ve had about 30 years of interaction with middle school, high school, and even preschool youngsters in these communities. Last spring, I found myself at a wake and funeral for a former student, […]
Dear Editor: Perhaps a cigarette smoker can answer this question for me. Why do cigarette smokers toss their cigarette butts anywhere they feel like it? Are they that selfish and lazy? I guess it has never occurred to them that they risk starting a fire when they do that, especially if they toss the butt into someone’s […]
Dear Editor: I’m writing to voice my support for Congressman Stephen Lynch in the upcoming special election to fill John Kerry’s seat. I’ve been following this election closely but didn’t know who I would support until I heard Stephen Lynch talking about his efforts to protect Social Security. Congressman Lynch calls Social Security a “sacred promise from […]
Dear Editor: Stoughton and Sharon have gorgeous community centers, primarily filled with us seniors. Their lectures, yoga and aerobics classes are things of joy.

Dear Editor: I am not sure everyone in Canton understands just what an outstanding history teacher Coach Paul Therrien was. He inspired me to major in political science in college and instilled in me a sense of pride and honor in being an American citizen. I would never have enlisted in the Army and served […]

Dear Editor: Emotions are running high concerning the purchase of the K of C property for a future senior center. Alice Brown and Mary Ann Kinnealey are strongly questioning the condition of the building as well as why the townspeople were not told the full story about its condition and what the final cost to taxpayers might be. COA Chairman […]
